Check this out from another target! wow.

I Buy From the Damned
I buy from the damned
watch their eyes glow red
as they stuff my shekels
into their ash lined pockets
and somewhere
a stock index sets off an alarm
I buy from the damned
the polluted wares of a poisoned earth
arsenic peaches, strychnine milk
a piece of wormy ham for a bony dog
I buy from the damned
watch their gleeful smiles
as their poison passes from their hands
to mine
Yet they do not thrive
they do not increase and multiply
waddling back to their warehouses
gimpy legs and ulcerated hearts
enriched but not redeemed
I buy from the damned
the last shriveled fruits of a necrotic world
and I steal back into the hold
After the prayers are said
and death has again been sent into exile
and every purchase consecrated
into its holy form
succulent, sacred
sanctified
I light a candle and close the shutters
against the descending storm

closed my bank debit card

 will go into the bank for cash, and I just ordered checks, the ones with carbon paper underneath each  and I'm not getting a pre-paid card for stores.  just cash. Won't be buying Anything online.  wanted to do more in person anyway. $39.55 and $39.99 fraudulent charges showing up on online banking I'll have to absorb these. I think I'm safe.

I'm just hearing how great Women's Health Services are in Clinton, Iowa.

 Did not do proper care for me while pregnant, didn't find out I was carrying two babies til a doctor came from Iowa City, two weeks before delivery. Went back recently to get a pap, and the doctor there couldn't get it, took up to 4 speculums. I told them everything, I'm going thru menopause, no offer of estrogen, or any kind of pill, told her I'm having pain from fibroid cysts in my uterus.  Nothing, ignored. This place should be shut down!!
